When to Go
Alaska’s beauty is unparalleled year-round, but weather conditions vary significantly. Summer offers milder temperatures and extended daylight, ideal for capturing the vibrant landscapes of the Matanuska Valley. Winter provides a different charm with snow-covered vistas and the possibility of witnessing the Northern Lights. Always check NOAA for the latest weather updates to plan your elopement.
What to Wear
Dressing appropriately for Alaska’s climate is essential. Layering is key: start with a moisture-wicking base, add insulating layers, and finish with a waterproof outer shell. Even in summer, temperatures can drop, especially near glaciers like Knik Glacier. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is crucial for navigating uneven terrain.

We offer a variety of scenic routes for your elopement. Choose a flightseeing tour over the Chugach Mountains or land on a remote glacier for an unforgettable ceremony. Each route is selected to provide stunning vistas and a sense of seclusion, tailored to your preferences.
